Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Journey
Next
Li Ziang took care of everything in the camp and brought Lei Yi and more than a dozen brothers. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info left Shen Yi in charge of the camp, originally Li Ziang wanted to keep Shen Tulang, because taking Shen Yi is equivalent to taking his brains, but Emperor Wei wants to summon Shen Tulang in person.
Because a carriage was needed to transport Kongwu, Li Ziang simply made three carriages, one for Kongwu, one for food and water, and one for the envoy to ride.
Li Ziangnian thought that he was not young anymore, and his body was not as strong as a normal man, and he was afraid that riding a horse would tire him out. The most important thing is that this can leave a good impression in his heart, at least he is the person next to Emperor Wei.
She did this, the envoy Liu An saw it in his eyes, and nodded secretly in his heart, this Li Ziang is also thoughtful, unlike those people in the imperial city, who look down on people with dog eyes, and don't take eunuchs like them in their eyes at all, Liu An silently classified himself into Li Ziang's camp. He is very optimistic about Li Ziang.
The current Li Ziang doesn't know how much help Liu An will give her in the days to come, of course, this is also a later story.
Because of the extra carriage, the speed of travel is much slower than that of horseback. It may take five or six days to travel on horseback, but it takes more than half a month to travel by horse-drawn carriage.
After walking for a few days, when he was resting in the middle of the day, Li Ziang walked up to Liu An and asked with concern: "How does the envoy feel, can he still eat well?"
"Li Zhongjun is polite, he is born with a tired life in this body, and he doesn't care. However, the Chinese army should not delay the entire march process because it had to be under it. ”
"Lei Yi, get some food, let's rest on the spot for half an hour. Li Ziang said to Lei.
After the team rested, Li Ziang said to Liu An: "I wonder if I can ask the envoy about something?"
"The Chinese army is polite, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”
"I don't know, what kind of person is our Emperor Wei? Hehe, after all, I am still young, I have never seen Emperor Wei, and I have never been to the Imperial City, so I am inevitably a little panicked in my heart, if one accidentally provokes the Holy Lord, this little life will be gone. Li Ziang said with a slightly timid face.
"Hehe, the Chinese army is too worried, our Emperor Wei is not a very majestic person, not only is he not mean, but he is also very good to his subordinates. Liu An thought for a while and said: "But the Chinese army should remember a little, although the Chinese army is young, but you must not be proud of your achievements, you must know that the master of the town is high." ”
"Thank you, Your Excellency, for the point. Ziang is not the kind of person who is arrogant. ”
"There's nothing to mention or not to mention, just know what to expect. There is still a long way to go in the future. Liu An said with a smile.
Li Ziang looked at Liu An's eyes with deep meaning, and said in his heart: "Liu An also knows the inside story of what happened back then?"
The Imperial City of Weiguo is in the center of the map of Weiguo, and the four seasons are quite distinct, while Xiliangcheng has a warm climate all year round, and sometimes it is impossible to distinguish the four seasons. Because the climate is good and it is still at the border, it has become the target of the nomadic Agina tribe.
The team traveled all the way, and after half a month, Li Ziang and them directly seemed to go from summer to winter, and now it is March, although there is no snow, but the Imperial City of Patriotic Patriotism is also very cold.
It turned out that Kong Wu's body still needed ice to keep it from decaying, but now it is not needed.
And for another day
Li Ziang saw a huge and magnificent city wall from a distance, a tall vermilion city gate, and a majestic soldier standing on the city tower.
The imperial city of the Patriotic Kingdom has finally arrived.
A soldier walked up to the gate of the city and said, "I don't know which one it is?"
Li Ziang took out the token, and the chief guard guarding the door saw it and smiled: "It turned out to be Li Zhongjun, please." Li Ziang nodded, originally it was necessary to check the vehicle when entering the imperial city, and this chief guard was also a person with eyes.
How could it be that Li Ziang's fame has spread to the imperial city, and the Chinese army, which was personally sealed by His Majesty at a young age, has now won the battle, and Li Ziang's reputation is now even louder than when Kong Wu was a general.
Li Ziang is young and promising, and his future is limitless. There are already many ministers in the imperial city, famous nobles, who want to meet this Li Ziang and marry his own young lady to him.
At this time, three people next to him greeted him, and the leader smiled with a smile: "Lord Zhongjun, the villain has been waiting for a long time, the villain's name is Cao Liu, and he is the steward of the former General's Mansion. ”
Li Ziang nodded, the former general's mansion? Li Ziang's heart jumped, will the meaning of this Wei Huang be too obvious, is this to give her a dismount to remind her that this is a lesson from the past?
Cao Liu saw Li Ziang nodding, and hurriedly stepped forward to lead Li Ziang's horse. Seeing this, Lei looked at Li Ziang, Li Ziang nodded slightly, since Emperor Wei arranged it like this, how could he refute his kindness.
The procession slowly drove into the city's main road, which was wide enough for four carriages to travel in parallel. The teahouses and wine shops on both sides are full, but they are not noisy. There are no vendors on either side of the street, and pedestrians are orderly.
Cao Liu saw the doubts in Li Ziang's eyes and hurriedly said: "The main road of our imperial city is the most disciplined, and the holy decree is the face of the country, and everything that violates the law is not allowed, and if it is serious, it will be imprisoned." ”
Li Ziang nodded.
The procession headed east into East Street, with fewer pedestrians, and the road was not as wide as the main road, but could accommodate two horse-drawn carriages running side by side. After a short time, I saw that there was a rather imposing vermilion gate on the right side in front of me, there were two huge stone lions standing at the door, the door beam was painted, the red tiles were flying, the door plaque was written with the word "Xiangfu", the word was gilded, and even the lion door knocker hanging on the gate was gilded, and the glory of this identity could be seen.
Cao Liu said again: "This is the mansion of our prime minister." ”
"Prime Minister Sima Rui, his mansion is really magnificent. Li Ziang said lightly.
"Exactly. The prime minister governs the country in a good way, and is highly valued by the saints, and the eldest lady of the prime minister's mansion is the concubine Hui in the palace, and it is rumored that she has the appearance of the country, and she is deeply favored by the saints, and the five princes were born in the saints. ”
Li Ziang thought secretly in his heart, and said lightly: "When will it arrive?"
"Just turn a corner in front of you, and you don't know that the General's Mansion is adjacent to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but one faces north and the other faces east. ”
Li Ziang asked: "Since they are adjacent to each other, why do one face north and the other face east?"
"The villain doesn't know. ”
Sure enough, when I turned a corner, I saw another gate in front of me, but it was a little shabby compared to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and there were two housekeepers, two mothers-in-law, and two maids standing at the door, and there was no one else.
"See Your Excellency. The subordinates said in unison.
"Well, get up. Li Ziang gave Lei Yi a look, and when Lei saw it, he took out the money bag from his arms, and everyone gave three taels of silver. gave Cao six or five taels. Everyone happily took the money and thanked them, and then packed up their things and got busy.
Li Ziang got off the horse, stood in front of the door, looked fixedly at the three big characters of the General's Mansion on the door plaque, and pondered, "This was his original home, if he hadn't died, now I should be like an ordinary official lady, living a carefree life." ”
Li Ziang had long seen that the gate of the General's Mansion was newly moved here, and the paint on the door was newly painted. The general and the prime minister are both official positions of the first grade, so how can the direction of the gate be different. Scold. This Emperor Wei really has a heart.
Li Ziang strode into the door, and when he entered the door, there was a carved screen wall of more than four meters in front of him, and the wall was carved with four extremely ironic characters "Jing Loyal to the Country"!
